Without a doubt, the most intense moment in the entire campaign was Kashyyyk when the 501st had to fall back behind the beach head and defend the oil thingies. Best strat: camp next the the gate winch as an engineer and repair it as fast as you could if it got destroyed. If that door remained open for too long the Corporate Alliance Tank Droids would flood in and you'd be royally screwed.

so you do hero assault on mos eisleyplay as chewbaccacamp the health and ammo droids by the sail barge

Oooh, I never thought of doing that. I'll try have to try sometime.

Mrblackpants:

Honestly, I enjoy playing as grievous the most, cuz of dem lightsabers

Grievous sounds cool in theory, but I find his mechanics very lacking. His movement is clunky and his saber range is pretty limited in my experience. I find Maul, with his acrobatics and double-bladed 'saber, to be much more effective.

(thankfully this wasn't the first game, where the AI just jumps out of the vehicles once the ticket drop to around 20 or so,even while in the air)

Wait, really, they did this? I have't played BFI as much, so I wouldn't know. Do you have a video of it happening?

LokaCola:

whoever came up with those should be thrown into a Sarlacc pit.

It's too bad there wasn't a Sarlaac in BFII (even though a new version of the Dune Sea map would have been great with the revised vehicle mechanics).

I had two strategies:

Spawn as an Engineer and use a Republic Fighter Tank to ward off all the incoming droids in front of the main gate. When the gate came down, I would retreat into the "base" and blast away at the bottle necked droids.

Spawn as a Heavy Trooper (while making sure to have "Friendly Fire" off) and go around dropping mines in front of the tank droids. Since you can't get damaged by the mines, you can just walk up to vehicles and blow them up one-shot.

Mrblackpants:

Knightfall is the worst thing everI never was able to beat it

Oh gosh, yes. You couldn't use regular blasters on the Jedi because they would almost always deflect them.

I remember trying to make my way through the green-walled data center without turning a corner and getting stabbed by a Jedi...

shudders

prentice1215:

Rocket Launchers and mines. Lots and lots of mines.

But the Jedi are too fast for explosives like that. I was never able to line up my shots/drop mines in the right place. How did you do it?

Middlefingerstudios:

I love Yoda though because he's so hard to hit

Isn't he kinda hard to control though?

Mrblackpants:

Any character with force push on a map with pitfalls is fun

What other maps besides the Death Star would this work on?

Mrblackpants:

I never was able to get the hang of flying a sowspeeder around an at-at, I always let the ai do that, with varying results

I was playing battlefront 2 online with a friend last night, we were on geonosis and he was driving an at-te, and I just kept walking under it, so in his attempts to kill me, he ended up just helping me rack up a lot of kills on the enemy team because of how confused the ai was

GamerangerIt is an amazing 3rd party service that restores multiplayer to a BUNCH of games that lost support due to gamespy's shutdown, and many others that lost multiplayer support due to other reasons, I would definitely recommend it.

MLG skillz /s

Drop mines around you and bait them in. If any make it past the mine defense, aim the launcher at their feet. Note: this really only works if the invincibility cheat is on, because otherwise you're going to blow yourself up a lot

Oooh, yeah. @Waj has mentioned it to me before. I'll have to try it out. Do you have to host your own servers? Would it be possible to set up private Instant Action games between a couple of people?

Yeah, that "Friendly Fire: Off" is quite useful. A couple times I tried loading up Snowspeeders with mines and sideswiping AT-ATs. The mines would go off and reduce the AT-AT to like half health while I only too a little bit of collision damage. It was... more or less effective.
